TIP #1 - Taking the pre-assessment may be helpful. The pre-assessment test is optional, but it can only be taken once. It is designed to identify your topical strengths and weaknesses, which will allow you to structure your work with the CFE Exam Prep Course effectively and efficiently. If taken, it should be done before beginning any review sessions or practice exams.

TIP #2 - Read the explanation thoroughly. Do not reread when you are confused about a word or sentence; read on because the next sentence will often clarify the meaning. If you are still confused at the end of a section or paragraph, then stop at that point to reread the reference materials indicated.

TIP #3 - Know when you are ready to take the exam. To qualify for the Money-Back Pass Guarantee, you are required to answer each question at least once. In addition, you must earn a score of 85% or better on all four sections of the Practice Exams. If you find yourself meeting the requirements of the guarantee, then you are almost ready to begin the CFE Exam.

ACFE Vice President of Education John D. Gill, J.D., CFE, offers advice on how to qualify for the Money-Back Pass Guarantee as you prepare for the CFE Exam.

TIP #4 - Motivation is success. Success in learning is also determined by an evaluation of your process, and what you have learned from this process. Consider the CFE Exam Prep Course the beginning of your journey towards the CFE credential.
